The original announcement was regarding it's initial exclusion from the Vista operating system. This announcement regards Microsoft announcing it's permanent exclusion from Vista for good and all efforts for this feature will be focused towards Vienna instead.

Politik: Is that new news which I'am not aware of? If so, I'd like to know so I can delete this thread out of redundancy. If not, then it shall be recalled that the point is this particular article states exactly the opposite, i.e:
"In other Vista news comes word that Microsoft has decided to drop its plans to offer Windows Future Storage (WinFS) as a future update to the operating system"

The only real situation which would prove this false is if they lied about the 'coming from Microsoft' bit, and I just can't imagine a reputable tech news site like AnandTech's DailyTech doing this. It serves no purpose. If they weren't sure, they might use 'according to our sources', or even 'it's rumoured', but if they are specific enough to claim 'heard from Microsoft', then well.. guess what, they heard from Microsoft and hence it is 'official' (just that they haven't yet made some huge splashy media announcement yet, which makes perfect sense since why would Microsoft want to 'officially' announce the cutting of another feature off Vista?). For your information, the 'official announcement' is claimed to have came in the form of their corporate blog.

I think Virtual folders and metatags will be great for the average user. I don't believe I'll be personally using it too much, because I'm pretty anal when it comes to file organisation anyway.
And of course.. my main reason for Vista -- DirectX10

Haha yeah, i think that'll be the only real reason I can see :SCollin said:I think Virtual folders and metatags will be great for the average user. I don't believe I'll be personally using it too much, because I'm pretty anal when it comes to file organisation anyway.

Don't have a link as I read this about 1-2 months ago, but Microsoft has officially stated that DX10 not be available for XP (probably due to it's full-rewrite and the current state of XP's display model).
DX10 only games won't really start to show until the end of 07' I would expect. With many not keen on upgrading to Vista, I'm sure most developers wouldn't be foolish to isolate the XP customer base. I'm real excited about Crysis.. and with the R600 to have a rumoured 64 unified shaders, SM4.0 compliant and having full DX10 compatibility.. I can't wait till November (assuming the suggestions that their recent tape out was successful isn't false)..
G80 is rumoured to be taped-out too, although I'm less keen on nVidia's bet on a supposed 32:16:16 Pixel/Vertex/Geometry shader architecture.
